This is a card pasted to the registration window at my kids' doctor's office. It informs parents that anyone attempting to enter their home, seize their property or search them needs a warrant signed by a judge. Just one more thing parents need to worry about in the new, "great" America.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.
